PEORIA, Ariz. -- Mariners farmhands helped lead the Peoria Javelinas to a 6-3 win against the Glendale Desert Dogs Tuesday.
Right fielder Tyler O'Neill, Seattle's No. 2 prospect and No. 59 on MLBPipeline.com's Top 100 list, showed his power at the plate while catcher Tyler Marlette flashed a bat that may have brought some notice to the player who just completed his fifth full Minor League season.
In the third inning, O'Neill hit a two-run shot over the right-field wall that tied the game at 3. It was his AFL-leading third homer.
"I was looking up at the ball, just being hopeful and it eventually carried out," O'Neill said.
